Nestled on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, Livingstone is Zambia’s adventure capital and the perfect base for exploring some of Africa’s most iconic natural wonders. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or seeking cultural immersion, Livingstone offers something unforgettable for every traveler.
Why Visit Livingstone?
Livingstone is world-famous as the home of Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Beyond the awe-inspiring falls, the town offers a rich mix of wildlife experiences, history, and adventure activities. From thrilling river safaris to serene sunset cruises, Livingstone is where Zambia’s natural beauty meets excitement and culture.
Top Attractions
- Victoria Falls – Marvel at the sheer power of the “Mosi-oa-Tunya” (The Smoke That Thunders). Don’t miss the Devil’s Pool for a truly unforgettable experience during the dry season.
- Zambezi River Cruises – Enjoy a sunset cruise, spotting hippos, crocodiles, and elephants along the riverbanks while sipping a drink and taking in the scenery.
- Livingstone Island – Explore the birthplace of Victoria Falls and take in one of the most breathtaking views on the planet.
- Wildlife Safaris – Visit Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park or head to nearby Lower Zambezi National Park for game drives and canoe safaris.
- Adventure Activities – For adrenaline seekers, try white-water rafting, bungee jumping, or zip-lining across the Zambezi Gorge.
Best Time to Visit
The dry season (May to October) is ideal for game viewing and adventure activities, while the wet season (November to April) showcases the falls in full flood — a spectacular, mist-filled experience that’s truly mesmerizing.
Where to Stay
Livingstone offers accommodations for every style — from luxury lodges overlooking the Zambezi to boutique hotels in town. Many lodges provide guided tours, private excursions, and curated adventure packages that make your trip seamless and unforgettable.
Travel Tips
- Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear, especially when exploring the falls or going on walking tours.
- Bring a waterproof camera or phone case — the mist from Victoria Falls is intense!
- Book activities and tours in advance, particularly during peak season, to ensure availability.
- Don’t forget sun protection, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle for your excursions.
